    Default Pitted wheels/drag pack

    My drag pack setup has been put away for awhile now, I decided to dig one out and it has some putting, kind of pissed me off cause technically they are still new, I am thinking of just powder coating them all black now

    That looks minor from the pics. I've had luck with Coca Cola and or WD 40 getting this kind of rust off. Turtle Wax No 7 compound will also work. Get a Maguire buffing wheel you can attach to a drill and I think you'd be pleased with the results.

    I’m gonna try that, I’ll start dragging the other wheels out today, if not I’ll just have them blasted and powder coated

    Good . Less work to simply polish as opposed to rust fighting.
